The Slideshare API allows you to easily authenticate, upload powerpoint presentations and then embed them in a flash-converted version in your site.

Has anyone worked an a module that uses this API? I couldn't find anything in the Modules category or through site search.

It would be nice to make a CCK field that uses this API for uploading on Slideshare then embeds on the node.

I saw there is already some work on integrating the Youtube API - which does quite the same with videos - in a CCK field, I guess the code would be very similar for slideshare.

More info on the API here:

Unfortunately I won't have enough free time to spend on developing this myself and even less time to maintain it, so I decided to post the idea in case some people are interested in working on this.

You can use the "video_filter" module, adding this code:

Hi,

I've contributed the first release of a Slideshare integration with emfield, here a brief description:

The module adds Slideshare support to Embedded Media Field exposing a third party provider to emvideo module. The module provides both a thumbnail and a flash embed representation of the presentations hooking to the Views system.

you can find more on the project page:
